The Blues have been linked with many names in recent weeks. They want a left winger who can play on right and in middle if needed. In addition, they want him to be young which has been their top priority while hiring since takeover. As of now, they have Bundesliga winger as top target.
The star in question here is Jamie Gittens of Borussia Dortmund. He is 20 year old English winger who had a very good last season. He has been on the radar of Chelsea since long time. The Blues even tried to sign him before the start of the Fifa Club World Cup.
Chelsea offered £42 million to sign Gittens. But, this offer was quickly rejected by Dortmund. The German giants want more for the talented winger. Despite their offer being rejected, the Blues have stayed in talks with German giants and this is likely to pay off for them very soon.
